2012 BMW M5 Owns Both Road and Track

For those who were still questioning the awesomeness of their latest high-performance sports car, the Bavarian automaker decided to bring new ammo to the table by releasing a couple of videos that show the 2012 BMW F10 M5 inside and out, and also in motion on the track and road.

Now that you’ve finished jumping for joy and think you’re ready to enjoy the footage that will likely make your day, grab a seat, make it comfy, sit back and relax while watching and listening to the new M5.

We’ll remind you that the new M5 carries the most powerful series-produced engine ever fitted to a car by M Division - 4.4-liter V8 with TwinPower Turbo (consisting of Twin Scroll Twin Turbo Technology) helping it produce a whopping 560-hp between 6,000 and 7,000 rpm.

The Bavarian carmaker says it has not only increased engine output by about 10% and torque by 30% over the previous V10, but it has also cut fuel consumption by 30% to 9.9 l/100 km (23.8mpg US). The saloon can reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.4 seconds and has an electronically limited top speed of 250km/h (155mph), which can be lifted to 305km/h (190mph) with the aid of the optional M Driver’s package.

The next public presentation of the F10 M5 is set to take place at this year’s Frankfurt Auto Show this September, where the vehicle is expected to be a true show-stopper.

In Germany, pricing for the car starts at EUR102,700.
